Best Time to Visit Char Dham (2026 Month-by-Month Guide): Weather, Open Dates & Crowds

चार धाम यात्रा का सबसे अच्छा समय — मौसम, कपाट खुलने की तिथियां एवं सुझाव

Quick Summary: The best time to undertake the Uttarakhand Char Dham Yatra is during the pre-monsoon summer window (May to June) and the post-monsoon autumn window (mid-September to late October). The temples open annually around Akshaya Tritiya (late April or early May) and close shortly after Diwali on Bhai Dooj (October/November). Summer offers pleasant day temperatures (15°C to 20°C) with peak rush, whereas autumn brings crystal-clear snowcapped mountain views, negligible rain, and shorter darshan queues.
